weight control diet for diabetics, and harmless Seville Orange

"Citrus Aurantium. Citrus aurantium is also known by its Chinese name, Zhi Shi , an herb with a long history in traditional Chinese medicine. It is more commonly known as bitter orange. A standardized extract provides six percent amines and the most studied extract is known as Synephrine, which has thermogenic properties. The amines are similar in action to ephedrine (found in Ma Huang/Ephedra) in terms of thermogenesis, but they do not cause the stimulant side effects associated with ephedrine or large amounts of caffeine such as nervousness, fast heart beat, high blood pressure, dry mouth, insomnia or even more serious side effects recently reported. That's because these active amines work through a different pathway than either caffeine or ephedrine. An effective dose of Citrus aurantium would be 975-1,000 mg and would be standardized to provide six percent of the active amines. "
